Yuki, M. (2003). Intergroup comparison versus intragroup relationships: A 



cross-cultural examination of social identity theory in North American and East Asian 

cultural contexts. Social Psychology Quarterly, 66, 166-183. 

 

Abstract 



 

A review of the theoretical and empirical literature suggests that social identity theory 

does not account well for collectivistic behaviors among East Asians. I hypothesize that 

the central theme of East Asian group behavior is cooperation within a group; this is 

represented cognitively as an interpersonal network among the members, with the 

emphasis on the relational self. Results of a survey of 122 Japanese and 126 American 

respondents largely supported this hypothesis. For Americans, in-group loyalty and 

identity with their small and large in-groups were correlated positively with perceived 

in-group homogeneity and in-group status. No such correlation was found for Japanese 

respondents, however. Instead, Japanese in-group loyalty and identity were predicted by 

respondents' knowledge of the relational structure within the group, knowledge of the 

individual differences between members of the group, and feelings of personal 

connectedness with in-group members. I discuss the meaningfulness of comparing 

group processes in different cultural contexts.
